Wonderful and great But one caveat, it doesn't automatically comformed to the grid you set it up. Hopefully it'll be something the dev is working on fixing it. Otherwise, it's a beautifully designed app.

Great clock Good smaller size so it doesnt take up a lot of space but still able to read. You can customize the colorS. I really like it! Ive had this about a year and just had my first problem 3 days ago, frozen date and time. If its fixed it deserves all 5 stars.

Beautiful but has its issues I love the widget. It worked great on my S6, however when I use it on my Blackberry Priv using Action Launcher 3, it's off centre. Ruins the elegance of the widget. Two other issues I have with the widget is that you need to delete the widget any time you want to adjust it. A real pain to set up. It would be great if you could implement something like how Action Launcher looks at the background and auto selects colours that fit a material design theme.

Nice and Simple Love it! With every new phone I get I always come back and re-download this widget. It gives the date and time but no more, except it will go to standard phone clock on long press, and in a clean customizable format. Thanx Bob. Would be complete 5 star if it had a preview feature though...

Almost perfect So simple, yet elegant and classy. The only problem I have using it on my LG Esteem is that you can't change the options. If you decide you want to change the colors, you have delete the clock you have and create a new one - every time. Not that big of a deal, especially since finding the perfect color combination to go with my theme, but it was a pain getting it just right. Other than that, I love this clock and do not see myself using anything else. Great job.

Great, but needs a few additions. Awesome clock widget, looks great with minimalist themes. Two things are preventing me from giving this a perfect score. The widget sometimes stops updating the clock, forcing me to reapply the widget. It's already happened a few times since I started using the widget yesterday. The last thing is the addition of a preview, like others have suggested. The preview thing isn't as important, but fix the issue with the widget not updating and this will have the 5-stars it easily deserves.

Very retro and simple, but . . . I love the look and feel of this clock widget. I love the over lapping hours and minutes theme and the colors and transparency you can choose from. However, I wish there were a way to change the color of the am/pm and the date. They are always a grayish color which are sometimes hard to see against some backgrounds. Also I've noticed a bit of lag in time update. It will get to where it's 5 minutes behind and when I go to open another BobClockD3 widget, it automatically fixes. So not a big problem there I guess. Offer more customizing options and improve time sync and I'd give it 5 stars but overall, I would recommend this if you're looking for something simple and neat.

Great Clock But... Its a great clock, looks good and all but i have some issues on my G2 with ICS on it. It doesn't fit on the screen properly in landscape mode. And it would be nice to be able to tap on the widget and get to the settings if i want to adjust stuff. Otherwise i would 5-star this app.

Beautiful Clock & Date Widget. Try to Fix Resize Feature. "Because it Sucks" . Make Possibility to change fonts, Get in app to Change car size etc. and not as it's now " every time when we want to change something we first have to create a widget. Change all this and you will get 5 Stars . For Now 3 Stars.

One of my favorite clock widgets Always have loved this design. Adds flattering touch to any homescreen, can't go wrong with this style. As for time, I don't recall any issues but I've never used it consistently. I don't like that it runs in background when not in use, small amount but why? Not been updated since 2011. I simply uninstall when not using and then reinstall when I want to use it.

A great addition to my home screen This is a beautiful clock widget. Modern, minimalistic, customisable. One problem I have is that I do not wish to have the date, just the clock, and though there is a function that says "show date in lowercase" which you can tick on and off, it has never worked. Can you see to it please dev?

Widget size is not correct Crops the hour on my tablet due to the 2x2, vertically crops the am/pm indicator, horizontally crops the hour in half... 3x3 or resizable would make it just perfect. I love this minimalistic widget, looks really gorgeous on my cellphone... Fix it so I can use it on my tablet too.

One word, COOL!!! Very cool widget but I suggest that you'll add the feature "Keep in Memory" function that can be used in a rooted devices. This feature will prevent the system to kill this widget. I have only a low-end device so pls add this feature devs! I'll be waiting for this feature to be added soon...

Almost perfect Looks great and I love it BUT the time will randomly freeze. ( it is 06.53 right now but this clock is saying its still midnight), the only way I know how to fix it, is to delete it off my screen and readd. This is a deal breaker for me so will be looking for something else in the mean time.

Great clock widget I was getting bored of the clock widget that comes with my phone and I was looking for one where I could adjust the colours of both the hour and minute; this app allows you to just that! Now, the only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is because every time I want to adjust the colours of the clock, I have to remove the widget and re-add it to the screen. I wish I could just double-tap the clock and go straight to its options menu and adjust the colours from there. Otherwise, I think it's a great clock widget.

Chic, but... This really is a stylish widget, but needs a couple of tweaks (as it runs on the Galaxy s2 anyway). - When the phone is turned to horizontal/landscape position, the top digits (hour) of the clock are cut off. - As it sits on the screen grid, there is a significant amount of dead space at the base of the widget. This makes it difficult to place icons around and keep the screen asthetics intact. These two issues aside, I have no others. It's a classy, clever widget. Kudos!

Great looking widget but one glaring issue This worked great on my jellybean galaxy nexus but after I went to a nexus 5 with kitkat it would randomly freeze at any given time. I've listed it on my app killer's safe list so it's not that. Hopefully the issue gets addressed.

almost there looks great on any home screen because it can fit in with any wall, but needs an option to preview you clock so you can match colors, and also to choose what alarm app to open. so far it can only open the stock alarm app, which i dont use. an option to open the calendar on date tap would be great as well.

So close Dsheann it could have been perfect if I there's a way to change the fonts or color without having to open another widget. There's no way to edit the one that's already on display but other than that everythings almost perfect! Pls fix!

Good style The style is great. Exactly same layout I've been looking for. However, after installing it my sgs3 started randomly freezing so i have to remover battery each time.. If somebody could help me with that, that'd be great..

Sexiest clock ever! I was always annoyed by the "feel" of other clocks, this one set to the right colors for your background is seamless and classy. I do have a minor glitch where the numbers disappear occasional under ics but a quick reload of the widget and it seams to stay after that, I'm sure it will get worked out. Great clock! Thanks dev!

One of the best but has issues.. The clock is stylish and good looking, but it freezes or better stops updating after sometime. Plus please can you add the feature to launch the alarm app. Please try to fix that problem mentioned above.

Stops The time seems to never be accurate. It stops at some previous time when I check on it. I love the look of it and the customization of colors, but it does not serve its purpose. The developer seems to have abandoned this app, so I do not foresee an update. On the hunt for something else.

Date Cuts Off I emailed the developed a little under a month ago when I got the issue with the date being cut off. I still haven't gotten a response. The app was working just fine before 4.3. I'm gonna install until there is an update, if there ever is one.

Stylish and minimal! Great little widget and looks really awesome! But it does stops telling the time if more than one widget it placed on the screen. Minor gripes are no preview when changing the colours and no setting to change the date alignment.

Beautiful Lovely design, can control the transparency of the digits. Finally a beautiful clock widget. Wish there was a way to change settings without removing and re-adding the widget. But the settings don't change from the last add so not such a big problem. Absolutely love it.

Clock not updating I really love the design, but it's just not updating. I had it for hours and it never updated. I removed it and re-added it and still the same issue. IF it was working correctly I would give it a 5 star easily. Please fix! :)

Excellent.... Love the app. As others have stated, wish I could go back to settings w/o removing. One other issue....when docked in landscape the top 1/3 of the clock is missing. Using with Nova launcher prime.

To all the reviews who says time is stuck, please go to app settings. Turn off battery saving features for this app. After marshmallow Google optimization has been enabled to kill unwanted resources periodically. So turn off battery optimization especially for this application.

Sweet as a nut Love it. If I could change anything it would be to put a soft a shadow on the font and have the minutes slightly smaller than the hours. But it looks better than anything else I have tried, and works faultlessly on my Samsung tablet 10.1. A quick tap and it fires up the alarm app. No dramas, no ads - thank you!

Pls read on... I really like this clock as matter of design and the choose colour option is just wonderful. I have one problem, when I turn off my screen, the clock wont give good time. It is just stuck in the time it was while using it. This is really boring me.... Fix this.and 5 star rating for sure!

Awesome clock widget, one one problem..... that is if you were to place it on the right side of the screen, then it doesn't look right... there is a space of about half a centimeter on the right side of the clock, making it not lining up to the side of the screen like when u place it on the left (if you know what i mean). i did found one widget that looks exactly the same, yet, it lines up to both side perfect, and u can change the side properly... cant find it now... sad... anyway, apart from that this widget is awesome ^^

Wrong Date I've looked through settings to change the date because it is wrong... it says it's August 3rd but it is August 7th. The only reason i have this app is for the date, my phone dosen't show it by default, i've unistalled & installed again which did nothing. Im just gonna look for another app. -_-

Blind Configuration A nice clock, but you get just one chance to configure the display. And you have to do it blind - you can't see the result if your choices until you commit. The only way to adjust the way it looks is to delete the widget altogether and create a new one. I would also like to be able to change the size of the font, and have the minutes smaller than the hours. At present it is displaying "30 n" instead of "30 november", and there is a spurious vertical line before the date that I presume isn't meant to be there.

Disappointed I really like te widget. Nice and smooth. But....has refresh problems. Hour shown get stuck...I have to delete de widget start it again. Right now I have it installed but not on my screen...waiting for an update.

Modern & Stylish It's really modern! I liked how it makes the phone look so much better! But the thing is that the time goes out of sync at random timing. I hope this can be fixed in the next update. Kudos to the creator.

Great looking but stops working sometimes Looks great but sometimes it doesn't work properly. the clock constantly stops and I have to remove then add it back. It still does not solve the problem then I must reboot to fix it. I do not use any task killer.

It Freezes I have to uninstall this simply because it freezes often. I don't know what is causing it but it does and it misleads me. But I really like the look and feel of this widget plus it's free. It really looks good but at the end of the day it must serve its purpose which is to tell time accurately. Giving it a five star rating and taking back what I said... Found what caused it. It's my tool app that includes this widget in the tasks auto kill list.

Its one of the cutest time widget. But on honor 6x, if the phone is put in 'ultra battery mode', and brought back later, the time updation would have stopped and the widget consistently shows the old time the mobile was in, when it was moving to ultra battery mode. It makes it unusable in honor 6x
